Ehime University’s Organization for Education and Student Support and Japan System Techniques Co.,Ltd. announced a joint research project. They aim to develop an early-alert system that visualizes students’ learning progress using data from a graduation prediction model and an academic administration system.
On 23 October 2025, the Organization for Education and Student Support held a press conference on its joint research with Japan System Techniques Co.,Ltd. at E.U. Regional Commons on the Johoku Campus. The research aims to develop an early-alert system that visualizes students’ learning progress using educational data accumulated in the graduation prediction model “Graduation Forecast” and the academic administration system “GAKUEN.”
At the press conference, Director Hachihiro Hidenori (八尋 秀典) explained the challenges facing the education sector and the objectives of the joint research. Senior Executive Officer Ochiai Satoshi (落合 聡) introduced the company and positioned the initiative within its business, expressing the company’s intention to help address social issues. The joint research leader and researchers also explained the research, including the policy of identifying factors affecting graduation through analysis of historical data and applying the findings to current students.
The research aims to identify students requiring support at an early stage, establish an educational support structure that enables faculty and staff to approach students or hold meetings at appropriate times, improve course design, and enhance the quality of education and student support. The research period is scheduled to continue through 31 March 2028, with a view to rolling it out to universities nationwide.
